Erotas (Greek: Έρωτας; English translation: Love) is a Greek television soap opera, produced in 2005 by TV author Vana Dimitriou. The show aired on the ANT1 network from September 18, 2005, until May 30, 2008, in Greece and Australia. Kostas Kostopoulos, Katerina Kokkinidou, and Spyros Michalopoulos directed the show, that had three seasons and 646 episodes. Erotas aired in the time-slot previously claimed by the show Lampsi, which concluded in the summer of 2005, after 14 years of continuous screening.
The main storyline revolves around the private life of a wealthy Athenian family. The series follows Ektoras (Grigoris Valtinos) and Myrto Anagnostou (Koralia Karanti) five years into their seemingly blissful marriage and successful professional lives. As the story unfolds, secrets and jealousy cast a shadow over the couple's happiness. The story becomes more complicated when Myrto's ex-husband comes back into their lives.[1]
The show was originally renewed for a fourth season, but on April 26, 2008, ANT1 decided not to proceed with airing it. The five final episodes of Erotas were the highest rating episodes in its history, with over 4,250,000 watching, on average, in Greece. The series also aired in Cyprus, Mexico, Germany, Australia, Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. [citation needed]
